DBraz Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 ^^ Thst Neck looks awesome . Another Ultimate? It’d look great with a Korina body.
cmatthes Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 But wait...there's more! Redwood, anyone? We'll keep the Ball rolling with this one - super smooth Ebony and some killer vintage abalone inlays:
BrianM Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I just love all of these in progress pics. Really shows off Mike's incredible talent.
Funky Chicken Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I think I need to get back in line. If only I could figure out what I want.

I don't know why everyone is "liking" this comment, it's perfects sensible, look at poor Eddie Van Halen, no ciggy holder and all his headstocks are burnt, those guitars are so ruined he'll never get anyone to make an accurate replica of them surely...

There is probably someone who has attempted to make a perfect replica by finding an obsessed fan who kept up with what brands of cigarettes EVH was smoking during different periods of Van Halen, then using that information to search for unused cigarettes of specific brands from those years just so the replica cigarette burns would be as correct as possible.

Northfield Posted September 21, 2018 Author Posted September 21, 2018 Getting ready to do some carving this weekend and these 2are going to be killer when finished
cmatthes Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 They're killer NOW!!! Can't wait to see those...
HAMERMAN Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I'm liking these! What's the reason for drawing the control cavity (I assume) on the top?

kizanski Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 So that he knows where to drill for the controls? Just guessing, of course.
cmatthes Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Kiz is pretty much right there - when plotting out the cavity real estate (pot location, orientation, etc.), it's always best to measure twice...maybe thrice...before cutting once. When you have an extremely expensive maple top, or an even more expensive solid figured maple body, you don't get a second chance!

hamerhead Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Wait. A. Minute. Even if you overnighted that, Chris, it wouldn't get there until tomorrow. Especially a bicycle. I call BS.
